Eve carries our hopes to Edinburgh
Harpist, Eve Price won Regional Young Musician and will represent the District and Region 6 at the RIBI Final in Edinburgh.
Eve, (18), sponsored by Aberdare, Llantrisant and Rhondda clubs will compete on May 19. Runner-up was trumpet player Cameron Chin-See, sponsored by Wednesfield Rotary Club, District 1210. Vocal winner was Seren Devismes sponsored by Ellesmere
Rotary, District 1210 and Runner Up was Sophie Benfield sponsored by Lichfield St Chad Rotary, District 1060. This saw eight young people – four Vocal and four Instrumental - from Districts 1060, 1100, 1150, 1210 take part in a competition of the highest standard, reports District Young Musician organiser Ray Bevan from Pontllanfraith Club. “The three adjudicators, Daniel Bickerton, Iestyn Griffiths and Stephen Bard certainly had their work cut out when making their decisions on the winner and Runner Up in each section”. Eve’s journey started with her club competition, area, then District before the Regional Final. Runner-up in the District final was flautist, Samuel Finch, sponsored by Porthcawl Rotary. During the District competition at Islwyn High School a small but very appreciative audience were treated to an outstanding competition by the eight vocalist finalists. There was an interesting mix classical, traditional and musical theatre music performed. The standard of performance was very high with each competitor showing a level of technical skill and competence singing a range of difficult and challenging pieces. The three adjudicators, Stephen Bard, Paul Cook, and Jayne Williams were certainly given a difficult task when it came to deciding on the winner. The winner was 14 year old John Rhys Liddington sponsored by Pontllanfraith Rotary who certainly captured the audience with the brilliance of his accurate and emotive performance. Runner up was 18 year old Manon Ogwen-Parry sponsored by Cardiff Bay. Above, Eve, at the Regional Final, Vocalist John Rhys Liddington, and Eve with her District Trophy.
